Rating: Summary: What a pig Review: It's so funny that Bill O'Reilly can publish this garbage and then go criticizing Ludacris for his explicit rap lyrics.
Rating: Summary: Bill O'Reilly- SUPERSTAR! Review: Mega-talent O'Reilly continues to annoy the world with this turgid potboiler, written in a style similar to a 7th grader's creative writing exercise. Story has to do with a frustrated, deeply depressed tabloid TV and radio host who despeartely wants to be respected for something- anything. Instead, he becomes a regarded as nothing more than a disgruntled circus clown and thus decides to cause further resentment from rational thinking human beings.
The audio version is recommended for the graphic oral sex descriptions, narrated with gusto and verve by the author.
Rating: Summary: Well...........I still like "The O'Reilly Factor" Review: Nothing against Bill O'Reilly personally, he seems like a nice guy. It's just that reading this book is like walking up a flight of stairs holding an empty cardboard box the size of a Kenmore refrigerator. I wanted to finish as soon as I could and go play Super Nintendo. The dialogue between the poorly developed characters was especially awkward. And that other ex-GNN correspondent flat-out vanished! Maybe he found a better plot...
Rating: Summary: O'Reilly shares his own "Good Vibrations" ! Review: O'Reilly has really outdone himself this time, and that's no exaggeration! He is obviously an author who is capable of probing his own deepest recesses in order to come up with such a literary treasure.
True, there will always be those naysayers who would counter that O'Reilly is only "plugging himself" his books. However, I feel that plugging himself (with a book or anything else) is something that Mr. O'Reilly would only dare to do in the privacy of his own home, at least until that pesky lawsuit goes away...
Rating: Summary: Page turner well worth a read Review: O'Reilly shows a talent for writing novels in this really good debut. It takes place in the industry of television news---an industry of which O'Reilly knows much about---and is a multiple murder mystery. You won't be able to put it down. It's relatively well written and much more interesting than any of O'Reilly's nonfiction books (and no one will be offended by this one). The ending is a little weak but that can be expected from a writer's debut.
Rating: Summary: How can this man oppose porn and rap music?! Review: On his show, O'Reilly criticizes rappers and others who he believes promote anti-social values, including violence toward women, profanity, and sexually explicit songs.In this book, O'Reilly exposes himself for the hypocrite he is, he writes: "Ashley was now wearing only brief white panties. She had signalized her desire by ..." you get the idea. It gets worse, but this is a public forum. He depicts six murders, including much gore. He depicts 15 year olds performing "fellatio". The book is explicitly sexual and violent towards women and should be read by those who think O'Reilly is a man of common values. He is not and this books makes that clear.
Rating: Summary: Lurid Sex Scenes Review: Probably the most memorable scene in the book is when the hero, a man much like O'Reilly himself, pleasures himself with a giant japanese vibrator while conducting 'business' on the phone. There's also a great shower scene involving middle-east food, but I don't want to give too much away. Clearly, O'Reilly has had a lot of experience with kinky sex. A steamy read.
Rating: Summary: Horrible, Horrible, Horrible Review: Take away your thoughts of Bill O'Reilly - either positive or negative - this book would NEVER have been published if he wasn't already famous. The "plot" is toilet paper thin, the characters extremely one dimensional, and the writing amateurish. Don't waste your time reading this!
Rating: Summary: Get real folks Review: The ones who are saying that O'Reilly's book is "sophmoric" are probably the same ones who think that the Harry Potter series is good. Whatever, people. Get real. If it was written by Michael Moore, you'd be thundering your applause.
Rating: Summary: i don't know what else to say than...wow Review: there are a lot of writers out there, but from my years taking classes at one of the top collegiate writing programs in the southeast, that should give me at least a shred of credibility. if you like jackie collins, danielle steel, or any other best-selling romance novels with fabio on the cover, then this is your style of writing. it is simplistic, high-school level fiction. if bill o'reilly wasn't the name that he is, this book would never have found a publisher. it's like that pop album oscar de la hoya made. the dialogue is terrible, the transitions are archaic, and his talent for painting the settings wouldn't have achieved a d grade in my freshman writing seminar. if you want good fiction, look elsewhere.
